1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This case report describes a 15-year-old boy born with a cleft lip and alveolus who sustained severe extrusive and lateral luxation trauma to multiple incisors during the final phase of orthodontic treatment. The displacement caused incisal interference and prevented normal jaw closure. Deformed beta titanium wires were removed, loosened brackets were rebonded, and immediate orthodontic repositioning was initiated using light forces with 0.014-inch CuNiTi round wires combined with manual repositioning. This approach resolved the incisal interference and restored functional occlusion within 1 week, with complete incisal alignment achieved after 3 months. During follow-up, several affected teeth required endodontic treatment due to pulp necrosis. The patient's cleft-related dental anomalies prolonged the overall treatment process. This case highlights the potential benefit of immediate orthodontic repositioning after extrusive dental trauma, a treatment option currently underrepresented in existing dental trauma guidelines.
